Time passed day by day, and Lin Yuexi's due date was like a countdown bell, getting closer and closer, and every sound struck everyone's heart.
Aunt Zhang was busy in the kitchen, making all kinds of nutritious soups in different ways, hoping to keep Lin Yuexi and her son healthy.
Su Yue went to maternal and child stores again and again, carefully selecting all the baby products she could think of, including small clothes, small shoes, diapers, etc.
Gong Jinyao carefully decorated the baby room at home, making every corner warm and comfortable.
Ye Shihan would often take time to visit, and every time she would bring homemade snacks and chat with Lin Yuexi to relieve her boredom.
In these tense and expectant days, her company is like the warm sunshine in winter, warming people's hearts.
On this day, the warm sun shines through the window and onto the sofa in the living room.
Gong Jinyao, Su Yue and Ye Shihan sat around Lin Yuexi, their eyes full of concern and worry.
Gong Jinyao gently took Lin Yuexi's hand and said softly, "Yuexi, this last prenatal checkup is very important. Let's go to the city hospital to check it out, so that we can feel more at ease."
Su Yue also echoed: "Yes, yes, the hospital is well-equipped and the doctors are experienced. Let's go for a check-up and we can all rest assured."
Ye Shihan smiled and handed over a cup of warm tea: "Yuexi, just think of this as a way to reassure us, okay?"
Lin Yuexi was actually not very willing to go to the hospital for a prenatal check-up.
In the past few days, she has quietly gone to the space and used the magical and advanced equipment in the space's medical room to give herself a detailed prenatal check-up.
Watching the two little ones, a boy and a girl, growing healthily in her belly on the screen, their little hands and feet moving from time to time, she knew that the babies were doing well and that she would be able to meet them in a few days.
Moreover, she received a telegram from Gong Mufeng a few days ago, in which her husband said that he had already taken leave and would be back in two days to accompany her to the hospital to give birth.
With him by her side, Lin Yuexi felt particularly at ease and didn't feel any danger at all.
But looking at these people in front of her who were so worried about her, Lin Yuexi really couldn't bear to refuse.
She sighed softly, with a helpless and gentle smile on her face: "Okay, seeing how worried you are, I will go to the hospital so that you don't have to worry about me all the time."
When everyone heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with relief on their faces.
Surrounded by Gong Jinyao, Su Yue and Ye Shihan, Lin Yuexi got into the jeep carefully.
Gong Jinyao started the car skillfully. The roar of the engine broke the momentary silence, and they drove towards the direction of Jing City Hospital.
The sun shone on the car body, and it should have been a journey full of expectations. However, no one expected that an accident was lurking quietly.
The car is particularly eye-catching when driving on streets with many bicycles and pedestrians.
Gong Jinyao held the steering wheel attentively, glancing at the rearview mirror from time to time, paying attention to Lin Yuexi's condition.
Su Yue and Ye Shihan sat in the back row, one holding Lin Yuexi's hand and whispering words of comfort, while the other carefully sorted out the prenatal examination materials she brought.
Just as the car was driving to an intersection with few people, an old lady crossing the road with a cane suddenly appeared in front of us.
She staggered, taking every step carefully. Seeing this, Gong Jinyao immediately slowed down the car, followed the old lady slowly, and waited patiently for her to pass.
The car got closer and closer to the old lady, and just when the car was touching her, the accident happened without any warning.
The old lady suddenly raised her cane and smashed it against the windshield of the jeep with all her strength.
With a loud "bang", the glass shattered instantly and sharp fragments flew like snowflakes.
Gong Jinyao was so frightened by this sudden attack that her face turned pale, and her face and hair were instantly covered with broken glass.
Instinctively, she slammed on the brakes and threw herself forward.
The huge inertia caused chaos in the car. Su Yue, Ye Shihan and Lin Yuexi, who were sitting in the back seat, were caught off guard and their bodies rushed forward uncontrollably.
Su Yue subconsciously covered her face with her hands, while Ye Shihan held Lin Yuexi tightly in her arms, fearing that she would be hurt.
The seat belt suddenly tightened Lin Yuexi's stomach. She turned pale with pain and beads of sweat instantly appeared on her forehead. She subconsciously covered her stomach with her hands. She knew that she was being watched by a spy from a certain country.
Lin Yuexi's brain was working rapidly, and her heart was pounding. She knew that if she encountered danger, she could hide in the space to avoid the limelight, but Gong Jinyao, Su Yue and Ye Shihan beside her were just weak women who had no ability to deal with danger. She had to come up with a comprehensive plan to protect them.
Before she could figure out what was going on, in the blink of an eye, a dozen ragged men, women, young and old surrounded the jeep.
These people had disheveled hair, haggard faces, and their clothes were tattered and patched. Some of them didn't even have shoes and had bare, muddy feet.
In the crowd, an old man with gray hair and a hunched body trembled to the car window and pleaded in a hoarse voice: "Madam, please be kind and give us something to eat. The children at home are almost fainting from hunger."
Soon after, others also echoed, and the voices rose one after another.
"Give us something to eat, we haven't eaten for several days."
"Have mercy on us," those eyes were full of hunger and desire.
Gong Jinyao was frightened by this sudden situation and stood still like a chicken. Her hands were still tightly gripping the steering wheel, her knuckles turned white from the force, and her eyes were wide open with fear and helplessness.
She had never seen such a scene before, her mind went blank, and she had no idea how to respond.
Su Yue and Ye Shihan were also frightened and their faces turned pale. They huddled together tightly, their bodies trembling slightly.
Su Yue subconsciously leaned towards Lin Yuexi, as if seeking a sense of security. Ye Shihan looked at the crowd outside the car warily, her eyes full of worry.
Gong Jinyao looked out the window, her mind in a mess: "What on earth is going on? How come the old lady who was crossing the road just now disappeared all of a sudden?
How come such a group of people suddenly appeared?
Was it my illusion that the jeep windshield was smashed by the old lady just now?
But the broken glass was still before her eyes, and her painful face reminded her that all this was real.
Lin Yuexi looked at the crowd outside the car with a solemn expression. She knew better than anyone that this was definitely not an illusion.
The appearance of these people was too strange, and their target might very well be me.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, silently thinking of a countermeasure in her mind, and quietly reached into her pocket, tightly grasping the Qinlangning pistol she took out from the space, intending that if the situation was not right, she would not mind killing people in front of these people.
